Leaders Trip

Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Friday Task Is To Blog Something From The Start Of This Term. On the first two days of the Term (Monday and Tuesday), all of the Leaders were able to participate in going to Papanui Youth Development Trust, where we learnt about the Seven Habits, how to improve our Leadership Skills, Motivational Speeches, Self-development, Team development, Strategic thinking, Ethical practice and civic-mindedness and Innovation as well as many other activities. Papanui Youth Development Trust was very educational, and I took so much knowledge and gained information. The Seven Habits Tree are - One is "Proactive", Proactive behaviour involves acting in advance of a future situation, rather than just reacting. It means taking control and making things happen rather than just adjusting to a situation or waiting for something to happen. Two - "Begin With The End In Mind", Planning for a Goal or Dream that you wish to succeed (Painting the bigger picture) 

Three - "Put First Things First", Start by putting the things that are more important, for example, School rather than playing with friends. Four - "Think Win-Win", Everyone has a fair chance. Five - "Seek First To Understand Than To Be Understood", people form opinions based on their own experiences, you filter everything you hear through your life experiences, your frame of reference. Six - "Synergize", To put it simply, synergy means "two heads are better than one." Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. Lastly, number 7 which we haven't discussed yet is "Sharpen the Saw", Balance feels best. On the last day of our leaders trip, we had to write a speech for an overall conclusion and experience. What activity have you been able to participate in while being a Leader?
